Laptop Mag Reviews the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA

by Netbook Dad on June 23rd, 2009

Laptop Magazine has published their review of the 10-inch ASUS Eee PC 1005HA Seashell Netbook:

Pros

  • Nearly 9 hours of runtime
  • Attractive chassis
  • Compelling software
  • Spacious keyboard

Cons

  • Lid smudges quickly
  • Somewhat thick for a netbook
  • Fan can get loud

An attractive design, comfortable keyboard with appropriately placed keys, and almost nine hours of runtime make the ASUS’ Eee PC 1005HA the most well rounded Eee PC to date. And at $389, it’s also one of the most affordable netbooks with its feature set. Those lusting after a thinner netbook will be better suited by the Eee PC 1008HA, but will have to pay $40 more and expect three hours’ less battery life. Though we still prefer the $399 Toshiba mini NB205’s more premium build and island–style keyboard, the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA is a very close second.
